Question

A multiple choice test has 48 questions each with four response choices . iof a studeny is simoke guessign tat the answers how many can get correct for nite

Answer 1

Binomial Problem with n=48 and p(correct)=1/4 and p(wrong)=3/4
---------------------------------------------------------------
A) What is the probability of guessing correctly for any question?
¼ = 25%
-----------------------------
b) On average, how many questions would a student get correct for the entire test?


mean = np = 48*(1/4) = 12
------------------------------------
c) What is the probability that a student would get more than 18 answers correct simply by guessing?
P(19 <= x <= 48) = 1 - binomcdf(48,0.25,18) = 0.0184..
---------------------------------------
d) What is the probability that a student would get 18 or more answers correct simply by guessing?
P(18<= x <= 48) = 1 - binomcdf(48,0.25,17) = 0.0374..
